Final Phase 4:46
That said, brilliant trial. Lots of stuff to kill you but it doesn't feel overbearing when you've died a few times. Definitely more on the Nidhogg level of difficulty than the Thordan one :) Good good. Also the second phase. whew that transition and that piece of music.
Also still getting my head wrapped around DRK at 70, will have to do some proper thinking about all their abilities which I haven't really sat and done since SB released :P

AT THE END OF EVERYTHING, I FIND YOU, MY FRIEND
Let us dispense of this distraction, you and I!
A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES!
In the end, this is the line that infinitely won my respect for Zenos.
Bless that legend 🫡
WHAT I DESIRE ISN'T SUCCOR---
@@ponderingForeverIt is satisfaction.
"I take it this is your prey. But why does it live? Surely, it's no match for you."
My WoL: "I'm working on it, you interrupted me!"
@@cybernurgle6413mine:Please, I was Just getting warmed up
Sneaking in the Azys Lla theme, I love you Soken.
Read this comment right when it kicked in, never heard it before. That theme is everywhere, just like Allag's influence
I don't know what soken had for breakfast the day he composed this masterpiece but i want some
Chicken tendies, right after 16 hours of starvation.
I always thought Uematsu composed this?
@@corpsepatty6730 I don't think uematsu has composed anything for 14 since ARR, and the official spotify release credits soken
@@helenawolfe2107 It uses motifs that Soken wrote but this specifical piece was composed/arranged by Sachiko Miyano. 2nd phase of Shinryu was composed & arranged by Yoshitaka Suzuki, other than the STB motiff. People often credit it all to Soken, but check out VGMDB and you'll be surprised.
that transition at 6:28
Amazing
LOVE the musical transition from Heavensward to Stormblood!
From 1:08-1:24 I tear up every time. That part is so powerful and and elegant at the same time. I get overwhelmed with emotion every time I hear it.. I’m happy to hear such perfection in the flow of music, then at the same time, I’m sad because I know it will end.
Same.
The 2nd half of this song is so moving it brought tears to my eyes. The only other music piece that makes me feel a swell of heroism is The Maker's Ruin.
Square's server budget went on this fight
worth it
thought about it for a second, then decided I completely agree with you
Server issues last a week. Boss battles are forever.
They still havent gotten it back lmao. The current ddos attacks are proof of that. They legit have no server protection lmao
THIS!!! This is how you make a boss theme. Good shit SE. Won this battle in the clutch. Had him down to 2%. Party wiped except for 1 samurai which ended up getting the kill. It was epic as hell lol
Shinryu: *complains about battlefield being too small*
Also Shinryu: *smashes the new battle ground to pieces*
at least was kind enough to take us to heaven *wink*
For coin and country.
For peace, sanctity, and serenity.
Till sea swallows all!
For those we have lost. For those we can yet save.
As we walk in the Crimson.
*Liberty or Death*
Forge ahead, unto the end
started with Pipin's Sloppy RIde ended with Shinryu's Excite Ride
10/10 would liberate again
Don't forget Raubahn's Wild Ride, too!
Thiago ™
more like Raubahn's roadblock (looking at you, early access instance limitations)
The servers were SLOPPEH!
Sloppey
I never thought that king thordan theme could be beaten x)
imho it's on the same lv of awesomeness
i thought so too and even the fight blew thordans out the water
Holy mother of all primals... This fight looks sick! And the music! THAT FRIGGIN MUSIC!!!! Soken and the rest of the sound team I fucking love you guys!
I think this fight is why the main Stormblood battle music sucks. They were saving it for the boss fights.
I can't decide which of Shinryu's theme I like more... This one takes a much more classical approach than most of FFXIV's music, and really tells a story through its song.
There was a lot of music in Heavensward, and even more in ARR. I genuinely couldn't see how Masayoshi Soken could match his incredible music in Stormblood. I just didn't see how he could; the music in Heavensward in particular was so good.
I learned a lesson: I should never, ever have doubted Soken.
EDIT TO ADD: The fully orchestrated musical call backs to Azys Lla make me freaking GIDDY.
Tom Norman god was it bugging me for about a half hour I couldn't place that was Azys Lla but I knew it was Heavensward. I can't wait for Ballad version.
Kellen McQueen I don't doubt that a large part of why it stuck out to me so much was because Azys Lla was my favorite zone in Heavensward (really anything Allagan associated I love about this game). Otherwise I might not have been able to place it!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was feeling the Azys Lla vibes! Especially with all the mechanics thrown in this fight
i've get a feeling about the second theme was a call back into heavensward
if you listen closely at 6:56 , you can heard the ending part of 'Heavensward' itself
2 years from the future, shadowbringers ost is even more epic! im so amazed how they can outdo their previous works
so amazing to see the whole fight how it was!without skipped mechanics,to feel how it was in ST!^^
I love the intro. The party running across the walkway with the setting sun in the background.
This is one hell of a fight, even Gaius would be proud of us for taking down that destructive demon.
Gaius wasn't even a bad guy compared to the other shitheads we had to fight. I'm sure he would be proud of us, seeing how he was desagreeing with Zenos.
Daedelous Gaius Van Baelsar was an interesting "villain" in that he technically wanted the same thing as the Scions; Eorzia free of Eikons. The difference is he felt the strong must protect the weak meaning the Empire must protect Eorzians from themselves and their Eikons.
Shadowhunter: gods damn warrior of light what in the seven hells have you been up to
WoL: oh you know, the usual world-saving
@@notsoanonymouself
WoL: What about you, "Shadowhunter"?
Shadowhunter: Oh, killing ascians, collecting masks. Nothing much...
Not a single SAM or RDM in this group. That's truly unusual.
Also, this song and fight are amazing! Can't wait to try my hand at the EX version when that's a thing.
Just want to make a comment about how amazing the horns are in this theme.
I fully expect Nidhogg to go down as one of the best fights in an MMO.
Stormblood: Hold my beer.
Also want to mention, technically the expansion name "Stormblood" was a hint to this fight. Apparently the original dragon from China, Shenlong, is the god of storms and rain.
SirthOsiris Shadowbringers: Hey guys, I brought a keg.
Nidhogg was the better fight thematically and had the better ex fight mechanically. Shinryu's easy mode fight was on the harder end for story content but the EX was a disappointment. Music was great tho
@@snbwz 5.3: The big shelf with barrels housing item.
Bears reminding, this fight WILL be getting a Minstrel's Ballad, and lest ye forget how much dumb nonsense that added for Thordan. My steel shall be ready
Will it be served cold? :P
Alternatively, it could be like Nidhogg EX where it gets easier!
Oh man. I just finished this fight this morning, I was playing DPS (RDM) so my queues were about a half hour each time. First group, I had to spend the majority of the time learning the mechanics, I'm sure that was the same for others in the party, so eventually we ran out of time and had to abandon.
By the second group, I was getting the hang of it, while some parts were still kind of hard to get a feel for. This group as well ran out of time.
Third group, I was getting a little salty, (not aggravated at anyone mind you) and the group I was with this time around was a mix of people that weren't sure of themselves, and some very friendly players that had been around a bit (Not one of these people were from the same server as me lol). We failed the first few times, and on our last attempt we had about 13 mins left. For some reason I can't fully understand, this run went flawlessly, I'm not sure if anyone died, mechanics were followed, and people were just on point. When the fight ended, I laughed out loud, and a few of us stated in chat that we loved this party. It was amazing, a really rewarding fight!
where i need to kneel for make a promise for my steel to see this glorious encounter?
SenshuRysakami Honestly, a lot of the mechanics in this fight can be figured out on the spot. Whenever I'm tanking and I see that most of the party is new, I just start the fight without any explanation to see how far we go before wiping. That way, I only have to explain mechanics I know people didn't get on attempt number one. Sometimes, there isn't an attempt number two because we just won. Believing in a party of lv70 adventurers who've beaten all MSQ content to that point goes a long way toward expediting things.
Can't wait for the Minstrel's Ballad version
My guess is that it will come out when the Omega fight does, and be a similar difficulty to it.
Hear hear!! We have but a few weeks at most to go!
Oh wow, I only just realized this is essentially an orchestral arrangement of the Azys La theme, Order Yet Undeciphered!
I've always enjoyed FFXIV MSQs (add Coil to ARR), but Stormbloods is a league above not only FFXIV stories, but all the countless other games I have played (fantasy wise) over my 20 years of gaming. It was well worth the wait.
Amazing, that music like this can be made is incredible.
I love how all their boss themes are grand orchestras
must have been SO COOL to have played in this! Most epic amazing end game rousing battle music :))))))
Not all. Some are metal/rock (such as Fiend) or even rap tracks (such as Rise).
Jacob Kern Don't forget Brute Justice which was basically a fight with a Saturday morning cartoon, complete with theme
Man this was insane the music and this fight is just right ...
Just beat this last night, gotta say I'm loving the game and its soundtrack a lot
You know it's going to be a super fun run when both tanks fly off from the first Gyr Charge.
Best part about this fight on a Paladin is cheesing mechanics with Tempered Will
What's part is 2:05 from? I haven't played V in so long it'd be impossible to find out without going and listening to the entire OST.
Great theme so far tho.
Motif from the Azys Lla zone theme. Used a few times throughout the Heavensward soundtrack, like in the Thordan (EX?) theme.
No clue if it appears in FFV, I've never played it.
What a fantastic medley. It starts with Azys Lla's theme, then it moves into Ultima's theme, and then finally Stormblood's theme. Were there any other themes I failed to recognize in this?
Completed this fight two days ago. All the bosses and trials in Stormblood are SO F*CKING AWESOME!
Hope for more dungeons and trials!
loved this fight and music, reminds me of the incredibles
Ultima? Was pretty cool. King Thordan? Piss easy on the first go.
...Shinryu? Eazy...ly the deadliest and the best. Visually, gameplay wise, lore wise, shit wise, atmosphere wise, everything wise.
Fuck.
End of the world tier music.
Did he know????
Finally got to do all of these fights blind, since I've never played XIV during release dates and good God--so epic. The *music*, too! I got Nidhogg levels of hyped. Easily my favorite boss theme in the game, currently.
"Is that not so , adventurer?"
Best line in the game right there.
Never forget having to 100 totem this on extreme.
Oh boy, I can't wait to solo heal The Minstrel's Ballad: Shinryu's Rampage as a scholar ha ha ha... kill me now.
I can't wait to see the weapons it yields.
*pats back * you can do it Champ.
One of my favorite themes of the expansion so far.
Some parts of the first phase sounds like something straight outta Star Wars
The first track sounds very "Star Wars"-y to me. Fantastic job Soken!
Finally beat this yesterday! Woooooo!
This fight was INSANE!!
STORMBLOOD BEST EXPANSION!
THANK YOU!!
The music in this game is amazing
Full on in love with this fight!
ACTIVE TIME MANEUVER
Cometdance honestly the most fun ive had with a QTE in any game ive ever played
In FFV you fight Shinryu, who is hiding in a chest containing the Ragnarok sword, which was an esper in FF6. Here, Zenos fuses inside Shinryu. So if Zenos will turn into Ragnarok, it will be Ragnarok inside Shinryu?
Zenos = Primal Ragnarok confirmed?
Artenuga stfu fool
Yall ever notice that the first phase is extremely similar to the Ayzs Lla theme? Theme of Endgame
Such an awesome fight.
Scale and Steel stays the most beautifull song in this game
The John Williams influence is strong on this one.
Ultima was a really cool fight, but easy. Thordan was a really cool fight, but easy. Shinryu is awesome and the right kind of challenging.
Well isnt it the only Fight where Crystalmum DOESNT Godmode our Asses?
Welcome to Final Fantasy V
It's both "The Worm's Head" (start) and "The Worm's Tail" (about 4:47)
I want the extreme version! Hell, yes!
cant believe i got this done on the first try
Strangely, the first phase music is already in iTunes by the name "Scale and Steel" under the album Far Edge Of Fate
We first Scale & Steel it in a cutscene at the end of Heavensward so it made it onto that soundtrack instead of the Stormblood one
Epic fight, epic music. It's hard, but fun. Looking forward to the savage, hai.
Had so little focus for the music the first time in there, focusses on the mechanics
May I ask why the music gives the identity away? Is there some leitmotif in there that can specifically be backtracked to the boss? :O I am just wondering because I can't hear that and that makes me curious. As much as I like the use of Leitmotifs and stuff, I am bad at tracking and recognizing them, especially when they are subtle.
Phase 1's theme is ripped straight from the Omega vs Shinryu fight of patch 3.56, making it kind of obvious who the boss is to anyone that was paying attention. As for leitmotifs, Azys Lla's main melody is incorporated into this theme along with many other tracks in Heavensward.
Ah, thanks. Didn't have the particular music of that scene in mind (well I watched more for the visuals there XD). Thanks! :D
Hm... sucks that dudewereismyspoon's channel disappeared. He's the only one with this song that did the transition between part one and two properly
Yeah he nailed the transition. So epic.
This fight's getting the Echo of Shame in 4.1. Could prove useful.
Healing through this was a good time, if intense because my parties liked playing the stay away from healer while handling all mechanics game. Other than that, it was really fun and actually had me invested in using my faerie gauge as opposed to sitting on a full gauge for minutes at a time.
Also Stormblood is shaping up to be a pretty healing intensive expansion. Tons of fun mechanics for us healers to enjoy, and also tons of fun mechanics for dps to find creative ways to fuck up so we have to clean the mess XD.
Sad that our 70 scholar skill is so weak and has incredibly short range
+Coffera As an Astrologian myself i cant help but chuckle; )
Never really felt that Union was strong, but it definitely helped tide the tank over while I handled raising peeps or party heals. Much prefer Excogitation+Adlo if I have to choose though
2:37 - 2:55 Sounds a lot like a piece from Ace Attorney OST, from Apollo Justice to be exact :)
I'm waiting for Anima (which will come out muuuuuch later on though), this is gonna be great!
With Shinryu now out of the picture, makes me question: Will Omega be the final boss of the Interdimensional Rift arc, or will he be the last boss of the first set of "floors"? If Omega is the first final boss of the 8 man raids, the last one is either going to be a FF14 original or they can somehow bring in ExDeath considering the naming of the place.
Thats the big question, with this guy out of the picture, who iwll stand as the final boss of the interdimencional rift?
ex dead ?
Gameshunter92 Maybe Enuo will make an appearance?
So can we get Gilgamesh showing up randomly during fights ? That would be amazing.
Chris Clark Oh god I hope so!
I imagine that since this all takes place within Omega's domain, that Omega (most likely called Omega Prime) would be the final boss in the Interdimensional Rift raid.
4.0 back when shinryu was the extreme normal mode of the duty finder
Man I hope the Extreme for this is brutal. I'd prefer it to be the hardest extreme yet, but we'll see if that actually happens.
i honestly thought Rhalgr would have been the final boss with Shinryu in the raid tier.
Yeah, I was expecting Rhalgr to be summoned when things went even more tits up for the Ala Mhigans.
I also was hoping that Shinryu is the final boss of the new raid, as he has always been a superboss.
Well Shinryu is technically Rhalgr. It is what you get when you use Nidhogg's eyes to summon a primal instead good old crystals.
Um... they were under occupation for 20+ years experiencing intermittent torture, enslavement, and genocide by the Empire's hand during those years, and not just insurgents or "rebels" but just ordinary people under the Empire's rule not classified as "citizens" under their rule. Your character and the Scions are literally the sole tipping point for what were actually harshly won "victories" (if they could even called that in certain cases) and taking advantage of a stretched thin Empire forces (in the case of Doma enabling its liberation). I'm not certain where you're getting any of this "it was easy" b.s. as for anyone who paid attention to the narrations, dialogue, and descriptors for what was happening throughout the storyline, nothing was "easy". Maybe it was in your head, but not in the narrative sense for the characters by a long shot.
BUT WHY DOES IT STILL LIVE, SURELY IT IS NO MATCH FOR YOU...
6:29 Pure unadulterated ecstasy
Inb4 commenting how amazing Zenos' Burst Theme in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia would be this one.
(Yes I know he's not out yet)
So basically the final boss of Stormblood is Nidhogg.
Not quite, but his eyes _were_ a part of Shinryu's "recipe".
It's Nidhogg + Sloppeh + Zenos
Also the story pretty much confirms Omega > Shinryu
Allagan Demon Sure !!
Allagan Demon Coral Ring save the day
1:52 the theme of a desperate struggle between US and the most fearsome foe we have encontered yet. it fits perfectly
i like this song but the part i like the most start at 6:30 and end at 7:02.
who the hell composed this piece? it's giving me the same vibes as the godzilla films from 2002 to 2004 and i love it
The same guy who did the music for this game since 2.0. Sokken.
Meanwhile, I'm having a repeated conversation with Raubahn.
Edo Fullmetal What server are you on? I'm on Odin, the biggest Europe server, and I don't think anyone here is stuck at that anymore. At least I didn't see anyone there when I last checked.
AleXwern I'm on Excalibur. Thankfully they fixed it, so I got past him :) everything's good now!
Raubahn (Savage) was the true superboss of the game xD
Raublock*
Compared to Thordan, this was way harder. WAY HARDER.
Well it's Shinryu we're talking about. Thordan is nothing compared to one of Final Fantasy's most powerful creatures.
this has nothing to do with previous final fantasy
see thordan trial and shinryu and tell me which ones feels which one is better.
Thordan normal is laughably easy compared to most normal trials.
The real judgement will come when Shinryu EX comes out
Sorry but Shinryu is better. I've never been fond of Thordan(found him to be a disappointment to be honest). And oh dear Shinryu EX...
Trevor Williams How is shinryu a bahamut copy? he originated in Final Fantasy 5 as one of the strongest bosses in the game... 😑😑
There is a portion that reminds me of Austin Powers/James Bond, I wonder if anyone can figure out which part.
Was OT and the fight kept me on my feet. Between having to be alert, hearing Shinryus crys, all the skill sounds of my party plus all that music. It was an andrenaline rush like no other. When the second phase dropped, it felt like my soul left my body. We also had the bad RNG of meteors dropping all over the place lmfao to the point no one knew where to go. Also, when he used his first wave moves? I said to myself "Damn.. I need that coral ring"(FF5 reference :P)
someone asked me what I thought of this fight. I answered
"Totally not worth 10 tomestones"
I can't wait for Shinryu's Pain or whatever they call it. I'm curious if they keep the name scheme.
Ultima's Bane
King Thordan's Reign
Shinryu's ???
you forgot Nidhogg's Rage
ah, the actual references in this fight were sort of lost on me due to not having played 5, know about Shinryu and Omega though, was still a great final boss though
Anyone else notice this is the EXACT same theme that plays when Omega and Shinryu fight in that cutscene before this expansion? I can't beleive I never caught it before. (The first phase, I mean.)
this boss was a pain to beat him.took me 2 hours to beat this guy because of people raging and leaving the duty
RIP to the healer that accidentally ran off.
They are now lost in the Rift forever ;-;
Somehow it reminds me of works of Joe Hisaishi for some Ghibli movies. And that is a very big compliment I can give :O
This fight felt so epic at the time, but Zenos turning into a primal seemed so left of field pulled out of no where. Confronting Emet Selch in Shadowbringers felt far more natural and organic, which made for a far greater final battle.
You probably missed or forgot about Louisoix becoming Phoenix or Ysayle becoming Shiva and How Zenos is explain you just before the fight how actually he is trying to make it happen in an artificial way, with the Resonant.
This whole fight kinda reminded me of Bahamut Lagoon.
6:28 makes you fight harder
Zenos was a really good villain imo. He needs to be revived somehow. The emperor and the ascians seems kinda stale to be honest. I was so glad when Thordan beat the shit out of Lahabrea.
Allagan Demon "need to be revived" *1000% Agree*
Yuri Stormeye I have doubts about his death as well, it's possible someone snatched his body away and healed him (my bets on the scientist/doctor). Though, if he comes back he'd be a wild card since his purpose as a villain has ended. He fulfilled his goal in life, had his last great battle so he's at peace. But he still has his weird obsession about the WoL which could have potential.
You kill the scientist/doctor before fighting him in Ala Migho, no?
hahhaha....
Anyone know what the title of this song on the iTunes soundtrack (not Worm’s Tail)? I for the love can not find it through the samples.
Soken is a god!
@Mekkah Dee
Can you get the theme that plays when Zenos is on screen?
3 people didn't mash buttons.
You will not silence the song of Oblivion!! Ah, wrong song xd.
I don't care what people say, this theme is WAY better than any I've heard in Shadowbringers.
